Excess waste collections

Ongoing excess waste collection

Every property pays a DWMC which provides for standard bins and their collection service. Pensioners pay 50% of the DWMC.

If an ongoing increase to a property's waste service is needed, the standard 80L bin can be upgraded to 120L or 240L. Annual rates for the property will increase depending on the size. The increase in rates will be pro-rated and the customer will receive a confirmation letter advising the change.

Please complete the following form to upgrade your bin.

Excess Domestic Waste Service form

If you are a tenant, apply through your agent or property owner. Owners can apply for a permanent increase to their waste agreement using the form above.

For excess waste bins, purchase bins from recommended bin wholesalers such as Environmental Bin Sales, Sulo or Mastec.

One-off excess waste stickers

Customers can purchase a one-off excess waste sticker from Council's Customer Service Centre for an extra 80L bin.

More stickers are required for bigger bins - for example, if the bin is 240L, then three stickers must be attached.

The stickers need to be ordered and collected from Council's Customer Service Centre at 200 Miller Street, North Sydney.

The sticker must be attached to a bin or it won’t be emptied. 

Plastic bags will be rejected.

For excess waste bins, purchase bins from recommended bin wholesalers such as Environmental Bin Sales, Sulo or Mastec.
